Oh how, at the journey's end, I lie in the heat of the night,
Feeling the heartache, wondering why,
I want a friend, I want a friend to lay down beside me,
I want a friend, I want her now, someone who knows what I mean
When I say, that I need

Tender hands to hold me, I need tender hands tonight,
Will you lay them on my shoulders,
Will you lay them on my eyes,
And I need tender hands to take me,
All the way to paradise, and then, when it's over,
I need tender hands to hold me through the night;

Touch me with your velvet mouth, I will give all the love that I have,
Under the moonlight, reaching your heart,
Where are you now, where are you now, come out of the shadows,
Where are you now, I want you now,
You know that I cannot always be strong, and I need

Tender hands to hold me, I need tender hands tonight,
Will you lay them on my shoulders,
Will you lay them on my eyes, and I need
Tender hands to take me all the way to paradise,
And then, when it's over, I need tender hands
To hold me through the night;

I am only a voice in a city of noise, can you hear me this time,
I see the storm grow, there's a light in the desert tonight;

And I need tender hands, give me tender hands,
Will you lay them on my shoulders, oh give me,
Tender hands to take me all the way to paradise,
And then, when it's over, I have tender hands
To hold you through the night, darling,
My tender hands will hold you through the night;

I want your tender hands, you have tender hands,
I want those tender hands, tender hands...

   

A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar,
'Twas light years of time since his mission did start,
And over a village he halted his craft,
And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star...

He followed a light and came down to a shed,
Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed,
A bright light of silver shone round his head,
And he had the face of an angle, and they were afraid...

Then the stranger spoke, he said "Do not fear,
I come from a planet a long way from here,
And I bring a message for mankind to hear,"
And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air...

And it went La La...
Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child...

This lovely music went trembling through the ground,
And many were wakened on hearing that sound,
And travellers on the road, the village they found,
By the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all round...

And just before dawn at the paling of the sky,
The stranger returned and said "Now I must fly,
When two thousand years of your time has gone by,
This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry..."

And it went La La ... This song will begin once again to a baby's cry...
And it goes La La... Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child...
Oh the whole world is waiting, waiting to hear the song again,
There are thousands standing on the edge of the world,
And a star is moving somewhere, the time is nearly here,
This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry...

   

Four in the morning and I just can't sleep,
I've got a craving now for something sweet,
So I head off for my local all-night supermarket,
When I get there, it's deserted;

And now I'm standing at the chocolate shelf,
Under the sign that says, "Help Yourself,
If you really gotta have it, then we really gotta sell it to you,
This is for people who say;

I want it and I want it now,
I want it and I just can't wait,
I want it and I want it now,
I want it and I will not wait,
I want it now!"

I sit at home and when I watch TV,
I gotta have remote control with me,
Oh and when I'm watching football, I can go to total recall,
I've got freeze frame, I got slow-mo;

This is the way that it was meant to be,
You gotta get ready for the century,
I'm a total modern man, And I got total modern plans,
And it's so easy when you say;

I want it, and I want it now,
I want it, and I just can't wait,
I want it and I want it now,
I gotta get a feel to try,
I gotta get a meal inside,
I gotta get a deal tonight,
I gotta say,
I want it now, I want it now, I want it now,
And I just can't wait!

I want it, and I want it now,
I want it, and I just can't wait,
I want it, and I want it now,
I want it, and I will not wait;

I want it now,
I want it now,
I want it now, and I just can't wait;

I want it now,
I want it now,
I want it now, And I just can't wait;

Here it is the new sensation, listen to the new generation,
"We want something, we want it now!"
You don't need no invitation, listen to the new conversation,
"We want something, we want it now!"

Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh,
We want it now;

Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh,
We want it now;

Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh,
We want it now;

Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh,
I want it and I want it now.

   

Dennis is a menace with his "anyone for tennis?"
And beseeching me to come and keep the score...
And Maud saya "Oh Lord! I'm so terribly bored!"
I really can't stand it anymore...

I'm going out to dinner, with a gorgeous singer,
To a little place I've found down by the Quay;
Her name is Patricia, she calls herself Delicia,
And the reason isn't very hard to see...

She says God made her a sinner just to keep fat men thinner,
As they tumble down in heaps before her feet.
They hang around in groups like battle-weary troops,
One can often see them queue right down the street...

You see Patricia, or Delicia, not only is a singer
She also removes all her clothing...
For Patricia is the best stripper in town,

And with a swing of her hips she started to strip,
To tremendous applause she took off her drawers,
And with a lick of her lips she undid all the clips,
Threw it all in the air, and everyone stared,
And as the last piece of clothing fell to the floor,
The police were banging on the door,
On a Saturday night, in nineteen twenty-four...
Take it away boys!
But poor Patricia was arrested and everyone detested
The manner in which she was exposed,
And later on in court, well, everybody thought
That a summer run in Gaol would be proposed,

But the judge said, "Patricia,
Or may I say, Delicia,
The facts of this case lie before me...
Case dismissed ... this girl was in her working clothes!!"

And with a swing of her hips, she started to strip,
To tremendous applause she took off her drawers,
And with a lick of her lips she undid all her clips
Threw it all in the air, and everyone stared,
And as the last piece of clothing fell to the floor,
The police were yelling out for more!!!
On a Saturday night in nineteen twenty-four...
On a Saturday night in nineteen twenty-four...

I'm standing in the station,
I am waiting for a train,
To take me to the border,
And my loved one far away;
I watched a bunch of soldiers heading for the war,
I could hardly even bear to see them go;

Rolling through the countryside,
Tears are in my eyes,
We're coming to the borderline,
I'm ready with my lies,
And in the early morning rain, I see her there,
And I know I'll have to say goodbye again;

And it's breaking my heart, I know what I must do,
I hear my country call me, but I want to be with you,
I'm taking my side, one of us will lose,
Don't let go, I want to know
That you will wait for me until the day,
There's no borderline, no borderline;

Walking past the border guards,
Reaching for her hand,
Showing no emotion,
I want to break into a run,
But these are only boys, and I will never know
How men can see the wisdom in a war...

And it's breaking my heart, I know what I must do,
I hear my country call me, but I want to be with you,
I'm taking my side, one of us will lose,
Don't let go, I want to know
That you will wait for me until the day,
There's no borderline, no borderline,
No borderline, no borderline...

   

No borderline, no borderline...

Took a boat over Lake Geneva,
It was raining all night long,
We were lucky and we saw no enemy,
And came from Switzerland, poor refugees,
Far from the guns of war,
We said goodbye to it all;

They brought us in to a nurse's station,
Half a mile behind the lines,
Oh Lord, how my heart was breaking,
To see the children, and the walking wounded,
Hoping for a ticket home,
And say goodbye to it all;

I woke up on a cold blue morning,
To see her there, standing right beside me,
Long years since I left her at the borderline,
And how she found me I'll never know,
But we decided there and then,
To say goodbye to it all;

To it all,
Say goodbye to it all,
Say goodbye to it all;

Took a train from Paris to the ocean,
Found a small hotel by the coast,
As we walked along the beaches of Normandy,
We came to Juno, Omaha and Gold,
And whispered a prayer for the boys,
Who said goodbye to it all;

Now we've got our own place by the water,
And I have a job in the old hotel,
She is ready and she's hoping for a daughter,
Well I don't mind, we've made our choice,
We've got all the time in the world,
We said goodbye to it all,
We said goodbye to it all;

'Bye to it all,
Say goodbye to it all,
Say goodbye to it all,
Say goodbye to it all,
Say goodbye to it all,
Say goodbye,
Say goodbye...

   

Restless hearts, it has been a long time
Out here on the journey, for a glimpse of paradise,
It's getting hard to find a place to go,
Where peaceful waters flow;

I took a walk past the old Saxon well,
Down by the cathedral, I heard the chapel bell,
And joined the people singing for a way to go,
Where peaceful waters flow;

And if you don't know by now, you never will,
Only love can find the door,
If you could see it now, it's in your hands,
Only love can reach the shore, to heaven,

Always, she is standing by my side,
She's my inspiration, and she's my battle cry,
And in her arms is the only place I know,
Where peaceful waters flow;

And if you don't know by now, you never will,
Only love can find the door,
If you could see it now, it's in your hands,
Only love can reach the shore, forevermore,
Where peaceful waters flow...

O Léan, O Léan, O Léon, Wellahiya.
O Léan, O Léan, O Léan, Wellahiya.

Out on the water I can hear them call,
I feel the rhythm inside of me,
This is the moment I've been waiting for,
When I'm hearing the drums in the night,
When I'm seeing the river of light, hey, hey,

Out on the water it's another world,
I feel the power inside of me,
The flame is here and now it has to burn,
You can live but you cannot survive,
And it's something you cannot deny,
To the waiting heart - this waiting heart,
To the waiting heart - this waiting heart,

Oh I'm holding on, I'm just holding on,
Holding on, Wellahiya,
Holding on, I'm just holding on,
Holding on, Wellahiya,

And maybe tonight - tonight I'll go -
I'll go down to the river where my love will be,
This time - this time I know -
She will lay down beside me, 'cos everything comes,
To the waiting heart - this waiting heart,
To the waiting heart - this waiting heart, hey hey,

Out on the water I can hear them call,
I feel the rythm inside of me,
This is the moment I've been waiting for,
It is here, now I'm breaking away,
And it's fortune that favours the brave,
And the waiting heart, oh the waiting heart,
This waiting heart - oh the waiting heart
This waiting heart - oh yeah the waiting heart,
This waiting heart - oh this waiting heart,
This waiting heart;

Mamana Mamana Mamana Mamana Mamana Mamana,
This waiting heart...
Holding on Im just holding on...
Out on the water I can hear them calling...
This waiting heart.

   

Oh my heart is spinning like a wheel,
Only she can see the way that I feel,
Eyes are holding right across the room,
High explosion coming out of the blue;

Well here we go again,
Living in a world that others cannot share,
Yea here we go again,
We are moving from a spark to a flame;

I am high on emotion, high again,
High on emotion, your love will find the way;

Oh my heart is burning like a fire,
Closer now and she is breathing desire,
Take my hand and give it all your light,
Take command I am your rhythm tonight;

Well here we go again,
Living in a world that others cannot share,
Yea here we go again,
We are moving from a spark to a flame;

I am high on emotion, high again,
High on emotion, your love will find the way;

I am high on emotion, high again,
High on emotion, your love will find the way;
High on emotion, high again,
High on emotion, her love will find the way...

   

A quoi tu penses quand tu t’endors?
Est-ce que tu m’aimes encore?
Dans mes rêves du paradis
On marche main dans la main
Je peux tout te raconter sur ta photo à mon chevet
T’es la seule à me donner un sens à la vie
Tous les chemins me ramènent vers toi
Au fond je garde ma foi
C’est toi qui me donne la voix
Je ne suis plus tout seul.....

.....Quand je pense à toi, dormant, quand je rêve, quand je me lève
Quand je pense à toi, marchant, en parlant, quand je rêve, quand je pense...

Tu m’emmènes bien loin d’ici
Dans le pays de mille solutions
Et je ne sais plus quoi dire
Quand je suis près de toi
Je pourrais rester seul des heures
Plantées ici sous ton balcon
Tous les chemins me ramènent vers toi
Au fond je garde ma foi
C’est toi qui me donne la voix
Je ne suis plus tout seul.....

..... Quand je pense à toi, dormant, quand je rêve, quand je me lève
Quand je pense à toi, marchant, en parlant, quand je rêve, quand je pense...

   

Le coeur d'une femme, déborde de passion
Le coeur d'une femme, déborde de désirs
Si tu ne crois pas que ces choses là existent
C'est l'erreur fatale qu'un homme peut faire

La nuit d'une femme est remplie de rêves
De l'homme parfait qui n'est sans doute pas toi
Si on ne voit pas de quoi elle manque
C'est l'erreur fatale qu'un homme peut faire

Elle veut être près de toi, ne la repousse pas
Elle veut te faire comprendre, elle veut surtout te dire

Donne moi la nuit pour te montrer ma passion
Donne moi ton désir et je te prendrai
Donne moi tes rêves, je suis ici ton lover;
Donne moi ton coeur, serre le fort contre moi
Et je pourrai t'aimer jusqu'au dernier souffle

Le coeur d'une femme (Le coeur d'une femme) est à garder pour toujours
Elle sera fidèle (Elle sera fidèle) pour toute la vie
Si on n'lui donne pas amour et affection
Ce sera l'erreur fatale qu'un homme peut faire

Elle veut être près de toi, ne la repousse pas
Elle veut te faire comprendre, elle veut t'entendre dire

Donne moi la nuit pour te montrer ma passion
Donne moi ton désir et je te prendrai
Donne moi tes rêves, je suis ici ton lover;
Donne moi ton coeur, serre le fort contre moi
Et je pourrai t'aimer jusqu'au dernier souffle

(Le coeur d'une femme) Déborde de passion
(Le coeur d'une femme) Déborde de désirs
(Le coeur d'une femme) Est à toi pour toujours
